SUPERIOR - Missoula’s premier vocal ensemble Dolce Canto and Artistic Director Peter Park present "Serenity and Stillness" on Thursday, December 13 at 7:00 pm at the Superior Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints in Superior, MT. This concert is presented by the Mineral County Performing Arts Council and a freewill offering will be taken at the door.

Celebrate the spirit of the holiday season with Dolce Canto as they sing music from the sublime to hilarious that will inspire, warm the soul, and (hopefully) make you smile. It is becoming an annual tradition for Missoula families to listen to Dolce Canto’s gorgeous singing during the holidays.

Dolce Canto strives to share fresh, innovative choral music as well as the traditional repertoire that has remained popular throughout the ages.

This program will feature familiar carol arrangements by Alice Parker and Robert Shaw, Norman Luboff, and others alongside new compositions by several of today’s most imaginative composers, including Abbie Betinis, Ola Gjeilo, Patricia Van Ness and Kevin Memley. In addition to the ensemble’s selections, several fine soloists from within the choir will be showcased.

Docle Canto is an auditioned, non-profit choral ensemble founded in 2011 that exists to study and perform exceptional choral literature for the benefit, education, and enjoyment of its members and the general public. The ensemble supports its mission through participation in various local, regional and international exchanges that include performance, education and outreach. The group’s first CD, "A Cappella Around the World" was released in October of 2010.
